I 1l I I I y % iTj -!7L FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY EDITION OF PRESENTED BY THE SENIOR CLASS •••OF 1952--- SALEM COLLEGE WINSTON SALEM. NORTH CAROL NINETEEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY TWO DtN01ft« GtPI-tRT SOCUI. SCIENCE Mv We dedicate . . . . . . this year ' s annual to Dr. Gregg Singer, who inspires his students to live up to his motto — Think! You must think! Backed into a corner by our own illogical arguments, we ' ve squirmed under his quizzical gaze — but we ' ve seen the fallacy in our thinking. Or dodging the flying chalk that inevitably follows an unsupported statement, we ' ve laughed — but we ' ve remembered the need for sound scholarship. ]n an office cluttered with books and test papers, there ' s always been room for a student in the crises of term papers, personal problems, or confused thinking. In class and on campus we ' ve found Dr. Singer keenly interested, always sympa- thetic, and an inspiration for erudition. In appreciation, this book is for him. 1 In retrospect . . . . this has been the year of nineteen hundred and fifty-two. Another year at Salem has passed. To some nineteen hundred and fifty-two has meant e.xcitement, gaity; to others, bewilderment and perplexity. We met roommates, and buddies; stored our cottons in exchange for wool skirts and cashmere sweaters. ' I ' he eight-thirties seemed earlier each morning, and the books tucked under our arms became heavier. At Halloween we put aside our college maturity and sought fun in silly pranks. At exam time we each tried to cram the semester ' s work in a few short hours, lien it was spring and Miss Anna was devoting full time to her flowers. Pomp and Circumstance held its place in the minds of Seniors. Final examinations, and each class took a step forward. This has been nineteen hundred and fifty-two. The one hundred and eightieth year of Salem College, the fiftieth year of the Sights .a.nd I.xsiguts. We worried about current events and the uncertain situation in Korea. We missed the boys who had been drafted. The year was difl erent, our enrollment had dropped, but the campus had not changed and we tried to keep its life the same. So for the fiftieth time the sights and insights of Salem life are recorded. But for the first and only time the sights and insights of the Salem Girl in nineteen hundred and fifty-two are recorded. T S |6iETB0DKD ::; £l f f . — •• -•:% f Information Please! With suitcases stuffed with keepsakes of high school proms and Frida}- night football games, hearts beating with excitement and anxiety, we arrived. The goodbyes had been sad, but a new life was beginning and we were happy. New faces, new rules, and questions . . . each building, office, and Ph.D., pro -okcd a question. And there were questions and more questions to be answered. m Dr. Dale H. Gramley, Our President Between tlie frivolity of youth and the staidness of aijc, we find tiiat de- lightful creature who is oui ' college president. He conies in a brown suit, brown tie, equipped with horn rimmed glasses and an infectuous grin. He is only one, but he seems to be every- where at once doing all he can to see that we enjoy and profit from every second of every minute of every hour of every day. He hesitates to punish where he can correct, anticipates the males on forthcoming weekends, listens s -mpathetically to our tales of woe and exemplifies for us sensible opti- mism. He is found almost anywhere on campus - in his office, in the catacombs, at Stee Ciee meetings, in the Bciok Store, balancing a cup on his knee at coffees, shaking hands at dances, quot- ing Robert ' s Rules of Order in chapel, sliding into second on the Softball field, chatting with students on the back campus benches, playing football with Stevie in his front yard, and playing Sherlock Holmes in Bitting. Stray dogs love him, the Board of Trustees appreciate him, other men envy him, the students glorify him, the alumnae pester him, and Mrs. Gramley protects him — from us. Our president is Sincerity with a twinkle in its eye. Dignity adulterated only by argyle socks, Wisdom with a bald spot on its head and Hope for the future of three hundred girls. Our college president is a composite — he has the energy of a cheerleader, the interest of a dean, the confidence of a freshman, the handshake of a friend, the gallantry of a Lancelot, the endurance of a prize fighter, and the tact of a diplomat. He likes the new science building, Camels, the food in the dining hail, the Salemite, informal get-togethers with students, his job, civic music programs, faculty discussions, the bas- ketball tournament, informal clothes and holidays. He is not much for tu.x, laziness, out-dated social regulations, rheumatism, rainy weather, alumnae meetings, and long faces. Nobody else looks quite so distin- guished and yet has so spontaneous a laugh or reply. Nobody else gets so much fun out of campus antics and is so quick to perceive students ' under- lying seriousness. Nobody else can cram into one desk drawer thirty-seven letters, three half-written speeches, innumerable rubber bands and paper clips, a memorandum pad, a news- paper, and an F.scjuire calender. Our president is down-to-earth. We find him everywhere, but most of all in our hearts. When we pass him on the campus or meet him in the square, although we may be weighted down with an armload of books and the memories of last night ' s blind date, he can mend our broken spirits with a tip of his hat and a contagious smile. 11  - ! m . d SSfik SHSnt !

The players are heard in the next room, laughing, talking, eager. Soon each girl will walk into the card room and pick up her hand. Some have been here before. They will walk straight ahead with confidence, knowing. Some are new. They will walk more slowly and glance behind them from time to time. But each is curious as to what her hand will hold. The hands have yet to be sorted and survej ed. Each girl has had or will have four years to play her game. How she plays and whether she wins depends on her — the Salem Girl. Who is she — the Salem Girl. ' ' She arrives in September from north, south, east, and west. September . . . and Orientation Week. Parents back cars up to the basement door of Clewell and unload new baggage, shiny steamer trunks . . . and a daughter. They watch her, a little sad, as she steps into the dean ' s office to sign in for the first time. Each train and bus carries more freshmen and upperclassmen to Salem. The leaves on the maple trees in front of Clewell are faintly tinged with yellow. Groups of freshmen and orientation committee members chatter and laugh noisily — excited, anticipatory, and some a little afraid. Meals are punctuated by yells and hugs until all have arrived. The faculty smile indulgently and are glad. Curtains are hung, closets are crammed to overflowing, new bedspreads drag the floor on the low beds. And the girls laugh. The game is about to begin. . . . 18 ' Jf ' ■ s ;A -a V a • tf? - 4fc ♦ -r- 10 r3 ! ' - s =-- V:?%i; t3l ;v -:? mmm. m mm ' S - i mi.

Between filling in blanks and signing nur names, we learned that Sister ' s and South were different dorms, that you could get a whole winter ' s wardrobe into a Clewell closet, and that you never used the front door of the dining hall. During Orientation Week we un- tangled the difference between light cuts and class cuts, nights out and overnights — and figured the nearest route to the post office. The first few weeks of school were a blur of new events. Rcser ' e room shelves were well explored, Mr. Camp- bell ' s reputed yellow paper pops be- came a reality, and bruised knees and sore muscles provecf that hockey was an unfamilar game for most of us. Getting lost in Silver ' s on our first shopping spree was almost as much fun as signing out for our first blind date. And then there was the excite- ment of May Day elections when Phoebe got elected to May Court and the fun of giving our skit at the pep rail} ' afterwards. Every time we see a shower cap we still think of Rat Week and our buck private uniforms. In boots and burlap sacks we saluted sophomores and bit the dust at the cry of air raid from the generals. At rat court we sat on ice and proposed to boys. It was a great relief when the sophomores took off their black — but after some of us recei ' ed answers from the rat letters written to Carolina and Davidson, we decided maybe Rat Week has its place in the life of a freshman! . . . with Phoebe Earnhardt as president, Bert Brower, Bobbie Kuss and Sara Outland filled the slate . . . Bessie and her crew finally got some food from home . . . and po ' littl ' Jean got a case of alarm clock jitters . . . When the bus left to take us to Wake I ' orest-Salem Da ' , many of us were on our wa - to our lirst big game. We must have looked important when Toddy was mistaken for president of Student Covernment! For Salem-Da- ' idson Day, the i- resbyterians invaded Winston, and a hay ride, picnic, and dance all combined into a big weekend. On our fun thermometers, the red and black were now tied with the gold and black. After six weeks ' tests, class elections were held; Phoebe Barnhardt was elected president with Roberta Brower to help her out as vice-president. Bar- bara Kuss was our secretary and Sara Outland, our treasurer. From Thanksgiving until Christmas we worked harder than ever — struggl- ing to get term papers in on time and parallel properly written. We played harder too — at decorating the dorm, using our nights out, and dancing at the Christmas formal. After Christmas, work overbalanced play as we crammed for mid-terms. In spite of swimming heads, however, we managed to consume ovens of sugar bread at the dean ' s coffee and counters of sandwiches at the kitchen party. During the spring, stunt night was a big project for us — we wanted to prove we could hold our own with upperclassmen. After Easter we came back armed with baby oil and baked by the pool to get a tan for the Ma - da - dance. This time dance cards were no mystery and the receiving line no menace. Next year is upon us and the knots and kinks have been unraveled. We ' re almost sophomores now — we know the ropes ! 21 ;: ' ;; .-. mm n mnm mm tmmi 2 Freshmen First rozv: Norma Jean Ansell, High Point Mary Bambalis, Winston-Salem Rooney Barnes, Bennettsv ' ille, S.

The first weeks of school we enjoyed our sophomoreship by passing threatening notes under freshmen doors and chuckling at our own gruesome plans for Rat Week. After rat court our faces cracked as we smiled and decided that the rats had had the better time. May Court elections were victorious for us when five sophomores were announced as winners. Cacky was promoted from the horses ' posterior to the Queen ' s court, and Lu Long was as radiant that Saturday in May as the September Saturday in Atlantic City. Caroline, Sara Sue, and Sarah completed the quintet. During hockey season we sought revenge on the active classes and won the hockey tournament. The Roaring Twenties staged a come-back in Clewell when Frankie and Lou decided that old Davy Jones needed a new life. A house meeting was held, and the class introduced the idea. Heads went together, committees were formed, and the basement was soon busy. Betty Tyler was chairman of the co mmittee to sketch the draw- ings, and Euber posed for endless hours as a flapper; taking time out only to throw in a few steps of the Charleston to add the proper atmosphere. By exams the room was complete with flappers, fhvers, and raccoon coats. At Christmas we rescued our white suits from the moth balls and with pride and sophistication sang Morn- ing Star antiphonally with the seniors. Some of us slipped out the door with our bees-wax candles to take home for the holidays. But darkness descended in April when comprehensives were announced. Time, Theater Arts, and If ' ebsters sud- denly acquired a new meaning, and we fratically learned the latest U.N. developments. After two days of cir- cling the assumed right answers and underlining the synonomous words, we decided that there was a world un- explored. We regained our strength and wrote articles for the Salemite, attended Stee Gee meetings, and spent long hours practicing in the May Dell. May came, and the Shopes ' suntan became the envy of all. We had more nights out, and there were only three more weeks for the forgotten class. This year Frankie Strader was presi- dent of the Sophomore class. Mary Lu Whiteheart served as vice-president, Alice McNeely was secretary, and Al- lison Britt was treasurer. . . . corruption in high places!

Some of us carried suit cases and potted plants to unaccustomed spaciousness in Strong dorm, and others went back to familar rooms in Sisters. Strong girls soon crowded into Sister ' s new basement smoke house to admire the big fireplace and hash over summer happenings — Jo Ann ' s ring, Peggy ' s suntan, Faye ' s trip to Europe. Most of us visited our little sisters that first night at Salem, too — we wanted to shift our relationship from the status of pen pal to that of per- sonal confidante. Big sisters and little sisters did lots of things together that first week to get the personal into high gear. Our little sisters took us to a picnic supper and presented a minia- ture stunt night for us, while we took them to Sunday dinner and a cofTee in Mrs. Heidbreder ' s apartment (and ad- vised them to eat junior breakfast.) Marion Lewis was our class president this year assisted by ' ice-president Francis Morgan. Jo Bell wrote up minutes from class meetings, and Willie Rhyne managed our finances. Dorm doors were locked and lights turned out by house presidents Ann Hobbs and Jean Moye. With a flying leap we plunged into the year in September — to use up those extra overnights, to take over a bigger share of campus activities, and to learn unwillingly of Keats and court cases.

I ' deanor, Ann, and Jean burned the midnight oil for the Salemite, Jo wrote birthday invi- tations for the I.R.S., and Elsie wrote copy for the annual. Education stu- dents found that making a flannel board is serious business, and Myra learned that something could be worse than Latin — Greek! Proceeds from junior breakfast helped gi ' e a rattle to the class treas- ury. Jean and Norma groggily un- packed dishes in Clewell on Sunday morning before cooking that first junior breakfast. After that, two new chair- men took charge each month to wrestle with the problem of burned toast and left over coffee. Planning the Christmas banquet was fun, but hard work, too. For weeks we wrote invitations, composed the senior poem, and made place cards. We squeezed in time to decorate our dorms, too . . . being careful not to leave out the kissing ball. After Christmas we took e.xams with calmness, put on class rings with ex- citement, and planned for stunt night with enthusiasm. Added gaity at ha -- ing senior privileges for the last three weeks of school was tempered by the sobriety of hat burning. Those caps and gowns meant more responsibility and greater dignity, as well as cars on campus and unlimited cuts. Those caps and gowns meant our senior year was almost here — our hats of frivolity were gone. 33 Juniors mm First row: Constance Barnes, ilson Ellen Bell, Dublin, ' a.

Bitting looked awfully spa- cious for only twenty-seven girls, but we didn ' t think about this on Sep- tember fifteenth. Our thoughts were on the handbook and our new job as senior ad ' isers. Some of the seniors stopped off on first floor and some stopped ofl on second. Then there were people like Jane and Lola, gifted in drawing high numbers, who climbed to third floor. September passed with free cokes in Welfare ' s and the thrill of caps and gowns. In October we sang the Alma Mater to the tune of Pistol Packin ' Mama on Founders Day and sent a midnight trio of taxis to the Martin ' s on Halloween. During Thanksgiving, Emily kept an eye on Bitting from the infirmary window and decided she was too old for handle-bars. The Christmas spirit invaded Bitting as we turned the Bottom ' into an old Moravian home, complete with cookies, putz and puppy. From then on there was a rush of Christmas activities — the banquet with its Santa Claus and holly, senior vespers with its bees-wax candles, and senior caroling with even Sprinkle and Carolyn singing. Senior members of the F.T.A. were also heard singing, though at the ear- lier date of December twelfth . . . practice teaching was over! No longer did they need to concentrate on lesson plans, discipline problems and flashes of color. No longer did they have to gulp down breakfast at seven-thirty and miss their after-breakfast ciga- rette! And yet, not all the practice teachers were cheerful on December twelfth. Fitchett was sad. No longer could she have two hours of supervised study on Monday while she recuper- ated from the weekend. Exams were completed and the sen- iors began their last semester at Salem College. The nights were spent listening to Flossie sing I Cover the Water- front, planning for next year ' s jobs, and digging in the library. The seniors presented their last stunt night as a mock-graduation. Kitty looked interesting as she balleted across the stage singing Hannibal Crossed the Alps. May Day displayed the beauty of the senior class and the ingenuity of Parks and her May Day Committee. We were proud of Monie as she was crowned queen of the Alay. May brought not only May Day, but also comprehensives. We chewed our pencils and took our last stab at developing the intellectual viewpoint. And so we greeted June and gradu- ation. Our heads were high. Torn between a thrill of the exciting future and a sadness over the secure life we were leaving, we waved goodbye to the square, the Book Store, Welfare ' s . . . and our life as a college girl. . . . Carolyn Patterson, Edna Wilkerson, Martha Fitchett, and Martha Wolfe taught the Senior how to plant ivy and be sedate . . . Ah, what would life be without the T.H., or eat heartily for tomorrow we may have hash . . . 38 Some dated . . . . . . and kept the night Hghts burning on Bitting ' s steps. Unlimited nights out were a luxury complete with ball games, movies. Bowman Gray dances, bridge games, and quiet evenings in the date room. But the luxury was more than some could afford as there were term papers, critiques, and sociology tests and the U. S. government. Those who couldn ' t come, called, and there was always a lone- some voice .heard talking over the phone. On weekends three-fourths of the twenty-seven evacuate the dorm, and the few left gathered around blaring radios, did a week ' s washing, or crept off to the cata- combs to catch up on a semester ' s work. On Sunday nights we heard the fifty yardline reports and the latest home town gossip, while Marion sat cross-legged on the fl oor, smiling winsomely over the last two days with her Private. The months were long, we kept busy — some dated. 40 Some waited . . . and talked into tlu- (.■aiiy liours (if the iiKiriiiiig ahdut llu- future-. I ' arks tried to coii incc us tliat DiamuiKis Arc A CjirFs Best I ' riend. Between lessciii plans and history parallel Sprinkle and Alice Blake gave their diamond a shining, thought about |une and continued to write. Some wore fraternit} ' pins and became in ' ol -ed in a triangle with the gcnern- ment. After Christmas there were rings to add to the pins, and summer plans took the place of lesson plans. The rest of the seniors sought refuge in bof ks, or carried on philosophical discussions on the advantages of maidenhood. Our days at Salem were numbered.

We each made our plans an - M Ma Seniors MARY DELIGHT ALLEN, business manager of the annual and a history major from Morganton, is the one girl in Bitting who can play bridge for six hours in a row without going crazy. Between games she finds time for practice teaching, work on the May Day com- mittee, and wheedling ads from reluctant business men. An enthusiast for fun, you ' ll always find Dee ready to go — for bridge, coffee, movies, or men! Unique as the only male member of the senior class, FURNEY BAKER is not a faithful attender of class meetings. Religious music major with special train- ing in voice, Furney has supplied the bass for numerous quartets as well as starred as a baritone soloist. He has served as president of the Men ' s Student Organization this vear. AXX BLACkWELL, or B.A., is a historj ' major from Fayetteville. Aside from practice teaching she manages to slave for the Salemite, Sights axd Ix- siGHTS, and Y cabinet. Last year B.A. saved us from sure cremation as Fire Warden, but this year she serves as class chauffeur — thanks to her Belle Aire. PEGGY BOXXKR, class contribution to Alay Court for two years, is a sociol- ogy-economics major from Elizabeth Cit) ' . Dependable not only in attracting males to the campus, Peggy has serx ' ed on the business and editorial staffs of the Sa rmili ' and Sights axd Ixsights, Ma ' Day committee, and Pierrettes. But stiff-back or stiff-knees, she ' ll stand straight at ' riffani,- ' s. KITTY m ' RRUS, English major from Shelby, has upheld the scholarship of the class as a member of the Honor Society and Who ' s Who. Aside from Shakespeare and Shelley, Kitty has divided her talents between her thirty-nine children at Wiley and work as Associate Editor of the Sights and Insights, feature writer for Salemite staff, cotton plant in May Day, and president of the Methodist students. In addition, she has been the recipient of many special awards. Seniors DAISY CHONIS, House President of Bitting and soul survivor of the home economic majors, is from Monroe, N. C. A former treasurer of the Junior Class and the Home Bionomics Club, Daisy is at it again for the May Day Committee. Aside from her career as a financial wiz- ard, she has served in a more strenuous capacity as the vice-president of the A. A., Tennis Manager, member of the class hockey and baseball team. Home Economics club president, and Student Council member. FLORENCE COLE, a Virginian and proud of it, is a piano major from Chi howie. On stage, as leading lady in Senior recital or Liliom, and in the May Dell, as maid of honor, Flossie excels in beauty and talent. In Sitting ' s basement, she excels as blues singer, tale spinner, and hoh ler artist. With Bill, she excels! BETH WILSON, an economics-sociology major from Charlotte, is one of those rare souls with originality. For four years she has done a major portion of the work required for dorm deco- rations. Stunt Night, and pep rallies. Aside from these responsibilities, she served on the A. A. council, May Day committee and Salemite staff. In her senior year, Beth was elected to the Order of the Scorpion. Seniors That drawl belongs to MARY CAMP- BELL CRAIG from Ba-a-sett. Her prac- tice teaching and double major in piano and history still leave her time for work on the Y and for doing a bang-up good job as president of the F.T.A. Her junior year she was president of the B.S.LT. and was elected a member of the Honor Society. We ' ll remember Mary Campbell for her ' irginia apples, her long philosophical discussions, and her tales of Richmond. miismBis -mi r «■■ Seniors I.Or DAMS, I.R.S. pix-sidcnt and three-termcr on . la ' Court, is a sociol- ogy-economics major from Morganton. having served as secretary of the I.R.S., Lou found liersclf prepared for her duties this year.

That ' s life, especially mine! sings LO- LA DAWSON, Pierrette president. An English major from Rocky Mount, Lola has acted as sophomore class president, script-writer of Ma} ' Day, student-di- rector of Pierrette productions, and ac- tress. A Scorpion and Who ' s Whoer, she has used her poetic talents in providing us with outstanding songs and chapel announcements. We never fullv appreciated ALICE BLAKE DOBSON of Elkin until she appeared in chapel as a little girl, com- plete with patent leather shoes. A day student and history major, Alice Blake lived with us in Bitting during Dee ' s absence and joined in the practice teach- ing struggle. As vice-president of the Student (jovernment, she stepped up from her junior class duties as Stee dec treasurer. :;; ■ • TT- mmm Seniors AXX E ANS, a voice major and day student, has served us as class repre- sentative to I.R.S. A transfer, Ann has loaned her voice to Senior ' espers, orientation parties, chapel and Alusic Hour. As a member of the Choral En- semble, she has not only been an out- standing part of the group, but soprano soloist as well. KITTY FALCLTTE ' S song bird voice has entertained us all the way from opera in Memorial Hall to hill-billy in Bitting ' s basement. One of Mr. Pete ' s prize glee-clubbers, this B.M. major from Raleigh held the leading singing role in last gear ' s May Day. You find her in smoke house, at Welfare ' s and on stage, but no matter where you see her, you you know its Kitty if there ' s a combi- nation of gayness, pertness . . . and that Famous Faucette Giggle. By this time BARBARA FISHER knows each brick on the Salem walls. A student at the Academy, Barbara forsook Con- cord six years ago, and is returning next year to fulfill the requirements for an involved double major in organ and public school music. Barbara has served as Y vice-president, chapel organist, practice-teacher, and vesper chairman. MARIl lA FI rCHETT takes everything in licr stride whether it be the latest dance step or conducting super ' ised study periods. A transfer student from Gulf Park and a history major, Fitchett has taken over the job of class secretary, and circulation manager of the Salemite. This year after class elections, she be- came better known to the seniors as ■ ' .Miss Stee Gee. As editor of Sights and Ixsigiits, CAR- OLYN HARRIS from I ocky Mount entered a field in which she had had no previous experience, but the results re- ' caled that nothing is impossible. A sociology-economics major, Carolyn ' s senior year has been typified by her case work for the Red Cross, and innumerable trips to W ' oodrow ' s. Prior to her chaotic senior year, Carolyn served as a marshal, I.R.S. treasurer, Y cabinet member, ad -ertising manager of the Salemitr, and struggling record-changer for Mav Dav. Seniors EMIL ' MFFCHKLL, a transfer eco- nomics-sociology major and native of W inston-Salem, joined the ranks her jun- ior year. Besides being the hostess at several week-end gatherings at her cabin, Emily was hockey manager this year, worked for the Sights a d Ixsights, Salcmitc, and was a member of the pro- gram committee. Emily can usually be found baby sitting with Lucy. WLjJjvH May Da ' chairman, member of Who ' s Jl ' ho and singer of The Good Ship Lollypop is BETTY PARKS, English major from Durham. Between practices in the May Dei! and basement per- formances, Betty finds time for work with the Y, Scorpions, Salemite, Sights AXD Insights, and her little ones at Wiley. That Parksian touch is evident in her fuzzy-definite appraisals and threats of a Siamese Mav Dav. CAROLYN PATTERSON has the dis- tinction of being the only married mem- ber of the senior class. Aside from her duties as a housewife, Carolyn has acted as vice-president of the class and taken an acti ' e part in class activities. A Spanish major, Carolyn joined us in rising at dawn for the practice teaching ordeal. Seniors JEAN PATTON, a Bluefield product, has corrupted our Southern pronuncia- tion, but she has added to our growth through her work on the Salem ite. As Junior Breakfast chairman, she dragged the most reluctant of us to Clewell, and as I.R.S. representative, got our noses powdered. A music major, Jean ' s stock phrase has been, I ' m contemplating roommaticide. Wl ' Seniors President ..f the Day Students, HOI Hll ' ' , PFAFF, represented our class last -ear as a marshal, ice-president, and day- student rcpresentati -e to the Student Council. In a more athletic vein, she played on the class hockey and Softball teams. In conjunction with her major in sociology and economics, Bobbie has done class work this ■ear. .M(). 1K_ ROWLAND, complete with drawl, will reign as Salem ' s twenty-fifth May Queen. A history major from Sum- ter, S. C, Monie transferred to Salem her junior year. Due to a glorious sum- mer in Europe, she has become a cosmop- olite, and, from all we can gather, is eager to return to the continent. Monie has been active on both the Salemitc and Sights a. d Ixsights Staffs. With a career as costume-designer cut out for her by all needy organizations, SALLY SENTER of Albemarle must have difficulty including her music major in the time budget. Originator of many class projects and performances, Sally has dabbled in everything from stunt iiight to hockey tournaments. This year she serves as ' ice-Chairman of the May Day Committee. Seniors In spite of thoughts of a June wedding, ANN SPRINKLE came to earth as Stee Gee veep. A history major from Henderson, Ann was junior class presi- dent and Feature Girl, practice teacher, and Scorpion. Sacrificing her right foot to the cause, she played on the class hockey and basketball teams. She was also the recipient of numerous calls from Bad-ger and the police. LIL SPRINKLE, the scientific half of a twin-ship, is a chemistry major, and quite naturally, from Henderson. As a Scorpion, she did but add to her list of offices as sophomore class terasurer, Labl- ings president, and A. A. treasurer. Also a hockey and basketball star, Lil can out- Charleston the rest of us by a long shot. CAROL STORTZ, the only surviving Yankee of the class, is a science major from Bethlehem, Pennsyh ' ania. President of the Y , Carol can get work out of the laziest Salemite, managing at the same time to slave herself. In addition, she is a Scorpion, Who ' s Whoer, and member of the Honor Society. mt MARCARK I ' ' I ' l lO.MAS, Stcc Gee presi- dent, lias found licrsclf involved in just about all phases of Salem life during her four years. A sociology-economics major from Tarboro, Thomas has served as house president of Clevvell, Feature Girl, secretary of Student Government, and Scorpion. Committee meetings, appoint- ments with Dr. Gramley, and a few well-deserved afternoon napis character- ized Margaret. Friendliness, practice-teaching shoes, and efforts to gain weight describe JL ' LIA TIMBKRLAKE, history major from Rocky Mount. Surrounded by piles of puppets, pumpkins, and pictures, she works hard for her kindergarten children. As photograpliic editor of the annual, vice-president of [• TA, and Y cabinet member, Julia also worked hard for her class. Seniors The only math major out of the four original ones, EMILY WARDEN claims both Bluefield and Roanoke as home. As president of the A. A., Emily continues the all the way tradition, having her- self played hockey, basketball, and soft- ball for four years. She has also served as fire warden. Scorpion, Salemite busi- ness manager, and on the May Day committee. MARION WATSON, a history major from Fayetteville, has acted this year as president of the Order of the Scorpion. In addition, she has spent hours in the catacombs laboring over the Salemite. Marion is particularly outstanding for her choice in flannel pajamas, not to mention her Sundaj night efforts with a youth fellowship, an undertaking which, she insists, is not in her line. Those long legs curled into an impossible knot belong to JANE WATSON, English major from Clearwater and editor of the Salemite. Soft spoken and quiet, her level-headedness has steered her through hectic W ednesday nights in the cata- combs, Dr. Todd ' s seminar, and the long walk down the hill in the May Dell. Jane has further served as Chief Marshal, a member of the Scorpions, the A. A. coun- cil, the annual staff — and the only member of the senior class who looks like a senior! Seniors Class president EDNA WILKERSON is a voice major from Pulaski, irginia. A member of Stee Gee, the annual staff, and I.R.S. council, she always keeps her calm disposition and her bandbox ap- pearance.

In addition to her worries as class treas- urer, Foxie is on the business staff of the Sights .wd Ixsiguts. In her spare moments from practice teaching and the Age of Johnson, she managed to consume countless cokes and entertain us with a piano st -le all her own. € ' i 53 I wf Motorcycles, Taxis, Cars . . . . bruu.irlit the Day StiuieiUs to Salcni each da -. The or_ ' lirst Suiula - (if Orieiitatidii Week, the Day StuJents began their functions with an open house tor llic arri ' ing parents and students. ' I ' licy gave parties and teas tlirough tlie year to promote better relations between the boarding stu- dents and da ' students. In November tlieir Mothers were honored at a tea. Bobbie spent much of her year head- ing recei ' ing lines. Stockings were hung and wreaths tacked on the walls at Christmas time, and every passerby was invited in for her in-between-class smoke. Displaying their talents, the Day Students enter- tained us with a chapel program after exams, where performers were as enter- tained as the students! In the spring the Day Students packed their lunches and went on their annual hay ride and cabin parl - —an affair honoring their graduating class members. Tlu- Day Students crammed iheir dorm life in during the day. The bridge hands were always dealt, and the coffee was continualh- rewarmed. Faye was the ambidextrous member who wrote the alpha beta chi ' s and kept the bridge score. Alice Blake st opped all activity the morning she appeared with her diamond. So with diamonds, teas, bridge games, coke parties, the Day Students kept their corner of the campus alive. Officers of the organization this year were Bobbie PfafT, president; Anna Frances Morgan, vice-president; Mary Lu Whiteheart, secretary; and Sara Watson, treasurer. Florence Spaugh was the representative on Stuilent Government. 7 6 54321... . . . is not a municipal telephone number; it is a rather complicated card game indulged in by the male element of Salem College. The men students, eleven in number and -aried in pre-Salem experiences, pitch their tents in the catacombs, wedged be- tween the Salcmite and Sights . ' vxd IxsiGHTS offices. With President Fur- ney, ' ice-president Bill, and Secretary R. I.., the big eleven carried on their own activities, feeling somehow that such campus organizations as the and I.R.S. had no place for their serv ices. In the fall it fell their lot to have a chapel program. Consequently, a ven- triloquist was pressed into service, much to the blushes of Mr. Campbell and delight of the entire student body, ' llie annual banquet at the end of the school year constituted the major ac- tivity of the spring. As for future plans, Furney Baker, a voice major, is particularly interestecj in religious music. Bill Long will use his English major for writing, and Bryan Balfour ' s activities in the Pier- rettes and art classes speak for his chosen field. John Byrd and Bill Hun- ter are ministerial prospects, while R. L. Sprinkle and Dan Hartzog are more medically inclined. Harold Carter is a commercial artist. Robert Hinshaw and Arvel Dyer are to be teachers, Hinshaw having already served as museum curator in Chicago. And Gra- dy Dunn is responsible for 7 6 5 4 .3 2 1. 55 ' ' We sing to our comrades in far-away lands ' ' . . . . . . rang forth at the top of two hundred voices as the student body gathered in the Day Student Center for a party honoring the five foreign students. HaiHng from Finland, Germany, Swed- en, Venezuela and Ecuador, the foreign students represent mountain and lake, fir tree and balsa, snow storm and equatorial heat. On September twenty-third we looked at each other with curious faces and unformed opinions; we wondered what experiences and ideas would erase the curious look and blank thoughts. The year is almost over now, and both we and our five foreign visitors have developed a better understanding and deeper appreciation for each other. We ' ve had fun, too, studying together, holiday-ing together — being friends. Lisa Meckelburg from Helsinki, Fin- land, made her abode on third floor Bitting. A student of literature, she trudged to American lit every Monday, Wednesday and Friday and wrote Shelley papers for Miss Byrd. With a bent for fun, she took time out from books and speech-making for dates, dances, and letters to O.K. Ragnhild Wurr, named Randy by her Salem friends, came to us from Kierspe, Germany. A language major, Randy plans to be an interpreter. Those of us who have heard her glibly spiel off Spanish, English, French, and German have no doubts as to the success of her career! Randy, who thinks all Americans take it easy can herself be found on campus not taking it easy as she dashes to class, club meetings — or just dashes. Sweden was represented at Salem by Jeannie Graberger from Ostersund. ' ivacious and spirited, she has taken in her stride countless speeches for clubs, singing for the pep rally, every- day English classes and every-night dates. Blue eyes, red cheeks, and laughs mean Jeannie is in the crowd. Beatrice Gordils, with her straight black hair and sixty-mile-a-minute Spanish comes to us from Caracas, Venezuela. Her first day in Bitting resulted in her learning the Charleston, and her second day resulted in her teaching the Charleston. A good sport, she laughs when she remembers such mistakes as confusing Hixson and Nicholson and coming out with Hich- olson. A good worker, she sprained her ankle in behalf of the Christmas carni- val and put her artistic talent to use to design program covers for Pierrette productions. ' ioleta Castro Avellan from Guaya- quil, Ecuador, has come back to rejoin her classmates — the seniors. ' ' io is studying drama and has taken an active part in the production of the Pierrette plays. She has also made a name for herself as a palmist and a ping pong expert. Vio feels that Salem is now as nmch her home as Guayaquil. . . .

The cards felt stifl and slippery in her uiiaecustomed hands, and like an - new Eranie it would take time. . . Hut it was September, and she was not alone. ' I ' here were iiame.s and faces of her classmates to fit together. There were upperclassmen and professors to meet, and names, names, names. At first she looked hopelessly at her room — the radiator pipes across the ceiling, the infinitesimal closets, the cold floor. She looked and remembered flowered wallpaper, ruffled organd - curtains, and deep piled rugs. She thought of high school football games and went to the post office e ery morning to get the hometown paper. Soon there was no time to think or remember. Classes began, and the Salem freshman was overwhelmed by comma faults, the Pythagorean theorem, reams of history notes, and Mr. Campbell ' s yellow pop papers. She listened and talked in the smoke houses and the room ne.xt docir. She heard about boys, families, high school days; and anticipated fraternity weekends, and blind dates. On Sunday afternoons she walked with her date around the campus pointing with pride to the May Dell, Clewell, and the president ' s home. But dates, new friends, and studies were not all. There were flats to be painted for the Pierrettes, news stories to be written for the Sa rmitr, and crepe paper to be hung for I.R.S. dances. Exams hit suddenly while the Salem freshman still heard the swish of taffeta at Christmas dances and the crackle of crushed wrapping paper, still heard soft strains of Silent Night, Holy Night. The dreaded exams — and she wished she had studied harder. Somehow she survived, and second semester it all became a familiar, pleasant routine. Spring, with jonquils bordering the brick walks, glossy new ivy on the walls of the swimming pool, and gurgling laughter within the walls delighted her. For she knew. . . . She knew that she had finished the first hand. Though her finesses had not always worked, she had made her first bid. 59 Individual responsibility . ... in upholding Salem ' s highest principles is the purpose of the Student Government. Every Salemite is a mem- ber of the student government, and the success of the organization depends upon each student. In order to prose- cute rules and regulations a council is elected to represent the students. The council is composed of class presidents, Student Government of- ficers, representatives from each class, a day student representative, and a representative from the men students. Margaret Thomas was elected presi- dent last March, and in April she became our first lady. At opening assembly the traditional telegrams from last year ' s senior class were read. With the reading of these telegrams Margaret began her duty as prexy, and with the first Monday meeting of the council the stiidi-iil government had begun. In October Honor Ghapel was held. To the new students, the honor code was introduced, and to the old, it was renewed with consideration for its significance. We signed the pledge not mechanically but thoughtfully. The council collected the pledges and we had become a student self government. At five o ' clock every Monday after- noon, the council met. They smiled when there were no cases and frowned when a rule had been broken. The lights burned late at night in the Stee Gee room when there were important decisions to be made; it was then that meetings with the faculty advisory board were held. Every step taken was a cautious one, and every decision made was a just one. Each council member undertook her job with an open mind and did as she deemed best and wise. Minor projects of the Student Gov- ernment included a peanut machine bought and installed in the basement of Clewell. The proceeds of the machine were given to the dorm funds. At Christmas, gifts from the student body were given to the maids, cooks, and hand men. In March it came time for nomi- nating committee meetings. For two weeks the committee met and agreed upon nominations. Dr. Gramley and Miss Covington aided the committee when important decisions were to be made. Elections were held, ballots counted, and winners announced. And in April a new president and new officers began their duties. Margaret and the council of ' 52 handed over their notes to the officers of ' 53. The year had been a successful one. The old council was a little sad. And yet there was that excitement of a new council ' s planning a new year with the highest principles of honor to be upheld. 60 . . . You must pay the consequence is the verdict reflected in these nine faces, but it ' s all for the camera ' s benefit. These members of the Student Council really wield their power with mercy, in spite of their stern looks . . . 61 Officers, committees, and council . . . . . . compose the Student Government. Margaret was elected to office in March of ' 51, and on the same ballot Peggy Chears became secretary. Ann Sprinkle and Alice Blake Dobson were the ones who stood behind the rostrum in Memorial Hall every Tuesday and Thursday and read the time and place of every organization meeting on cam- pus. Elected last September to fulfill the office of Rose Ellen Bowen, Carmen Johnston glibly took over the job of balancing the books. These were our Stee Gee officers who so faithfully attended the Monday meetings and worked to make the Student Govern- ment a success in 1952. . . . President Thoma ' s plays Juliet from the Stee Gee window . . . Alice Blake and Sprinkle kept chapel on the straight and narrow, while Peggy and Carmen served in a pen and pocket- book capacity. Mary I.ou Hridtrcrs, Ann llohbs, jean Miiyc, and Daisy C ' lmnis ha -c been without early bed hours tliis year as they were the ones ehoscn to lock the dorm doors and to make sure all of us were in — and safe and sound. ' l he N ' omiiiating Committee, made up of the major officers, were left with the tedious job of nominations. Feb- ruary was filled with fi e o ' clock meetings, issuing and counting ballots during chapel, and announcing winners. Officers, committees, and council - the Student Cunernmcnt. . . .

' I he occasion for such an outburst? An Orientation party was being gi en to acquaint all new- students with the widespread acti ities of the Y. Led by Carol Stortz, the Y Cabi- net met each Monday in the Y room to outline the activities of the year. Morning chapel, Y Watch, and espers were scheduled and promoted. In addition to these regular events, special projects were undertaken to utilize all of the interests and talent ' of Salem students. Salem-Davidson Day took on a new aura as a cabin party at Camp Betty Hastings was thrown in for good measure. And a surprise invitation from Wake Forest gave the girls a new outlet for displaying their charms. As for special service projects, W.S.S.F., under the direction of Mary Campbell Craig, was successful as a major undertaking. The Christmas par- ty for the orphanage made us all feel a little fuzzy around the heart, and the foreign students ' party was definitely a satisfying experience. Barbara Fisher ' s vesper committee pro ided a -ariety of Sunday night experiences, including in the schedule special events such as Love Feasts, The Messiah, and a Choral Ensemble concert.

Won ' t you climb •nto my hay- truck? said the driver to Mary Lou . . . the Strong F ' riendship rooms gave us further food for thought. Ann Blackwell ' s publicit ' committee did an outstanding job keeping us informed and reminding us of special events. The Y bulletin board at the back steps of Main Hall automatically caught our eyes during those last- minute sprints to class. Perhaps the most outstanding fea- ture of the Y year was Religious Emphasis Week. This year Dr. Patter- son of the Westminister Presbyterian Church of Bluefield, West ' irginia was our speaker. Of particular note was his talk on Christian marriage. Mr. Sawyer, as newly appointed Chaplain to the college, worked closely with the cabinet in formulating plans. Miss Covington and Dr. Singer con- tinued to give their support, guiding our work at the Y retreats and help- ing us wherever po ssible. The entire student body and faculty supported the after-dinner coffees on Student- Faculty Day and took advantage of the breaks from studying and writing during e.xam teas. The Y at Salem is an organization to which all students automatically belong and share in the benefits. It is primarily a service organization, spon- soring, in addition to opportunities for religious edification, such mundane conveniences as the Y store and coke machines in the smoke rooms. 65 ' f-A Oh, how we danced ... to the bars of White Christmas while Lou smiled happily and the dance drew to a successful end. The crepe paper streamers that Marion, Frankie, and Betty had precariously strung were beginning to crumble and hang limp over the crowded gym. The work was done, and only the morning- after-the-night-before sweeping was left. All had gone well, even for Jo, who was surprisedly happy to find that the books balanced. The I.R.S. was no unfamilar initial on the Salem campus, even to new students. In the summer booklets had been sent to all new students pre- veiwing campus life. During Orienta- tion Week the freshmen had revealed their new wardrobes in a fashion show sponsored by the I.R.S. Lou ' s an- nouncement of the freshman room contest in October had been inspiration for much dusting, sweeping, and furni- ture moving. Jane Little and Pheobe Earnhardt proved to have the most original and neatly decorated room. I.R.S. birthday dinners with candles and bread-and-butter plates struck our fancy. After dinner coffees gave students and faculty an opportunity to become better acquainted with each other. Six coffees were gi en during the -ear. Dorm decorations provided the fin- ishing touches to the Christmas spirit. Each dorm anxiously awaited the judges ' arrival, and s creams of joy were heard from Sisters dorm when they were announced as winners. The much-needed Charm Week be- gan after exams. We took hints from the connoisseurs and watched our roommates model the latest afternoon apparel. In April the council engaged the gym for the last dance of the year when Monie would reign as queen. Plans were made for the figure honoring the queen and court. Ingenuity was needed to scheme ways of showing off the beauties and at the same time not getting their hoops hung in the decorations. Even as May Day was beginning Faye and Jean were su- spended on ladders tacking last minute details on the wall. But every flower was in perfect order by nine o ' clock when the receiving line formed and the dance began. I.R.S. stands for I Represent Salem. The council members are to remind us of neatness in attire, chapel conduct, dining room manners, poise, thought- fulness, and above all I.R.S. Officers this year were Lou Davis, president; Anne Evans, vice-president; Faye Lee, secretary; and Jo Bell, treasurer. ... we see the coffee, but where are the dough- nuts? . . . the I.R.S. council . . . okay, sister cut the gab and pour me a cup of Java . . . 66 4l ' - i (.% B m ' ' v- lto The A. A. went all the way . . . . in 1952. ' I ' usslcs witli Dr. Singer at student facult) ' games and long dis- tance piione calls to Choo Choo made the } ' ear complete. The A. A. began its year during Orientation Week with a weiner roast and several ukelele se- lections gracioush- rendered by Mrs. .Moran. Hockey season was opened with a pep rally in Sitting ' s Bottom, where stunts were presented by each class. For the second year the ' 52 class took the prize with their mock funeral of a year-beaten senior. The season went smoothly until the seniors were not able to scrape up an eleven-girl team. The truth is they had a premonition that the sophomores were out for ict(ir},-, and they were. Informal meetings were held each ednesda} ' night and plans were made for the week. Emma Sue had trouble with a bill, the credit for which no member would accept, but she rem- edied the situation by filing said bill in the wastebasket. Bobbie Kuss was the artistic athlete who willingly fur- nished the posters. Her biggest job was making room for the A. A. poster on their bulletin board. There were trials, troubles, and tribulations for the A. A. beginning in October. As a part of Salem-Davidson I3ay a Halloween dance was planned for the night. Charlie Donahoo had been scheduled as the lole performer of the evening. Unfortunately Charlie . . . L.G.A.T.W.W.T.A.A. was the call to arms . . . there ' s one more in the cabinet . . . no, no, Sally; the camera ' s over here. . . broke his foot the da} ' before, and the old juke box was hauled on the dance floor as a replacement. Then there was a chapel cancellation for the day Choo Choo was to appear, and the job of uninviting was left for Emily. Her conversation with Mr. Justice was short as she learned that he was not able to speak anyway. Christmas . . . and the council mailed greeting cards to the student body. ' al entines Day . . . and the A. A. had its annual dance. October had meant scavenging fields for cornstalks, but February meant shopping the stores for crepe paper. The basketball and softball tourna- ments were played ofl , and in April the pool was opened and the swim meet was held. Sidestrokes, jackknives, and swan dives were all displayed. The golf tournament was next; the scores were high, but Mr. Edwards commended every stroke. The contests ended and the spring banquet was held. Daisy and Joan had added the points; and the blazers, stars, and letters had been ordered. The awards were made, the team champions announced, and everyone ate heartily. The A. A. banquet and year both ended with the closing words of its president: Let ' s go all the way with the A.A. Emily Warden was president this year, and Daisy Chonis was vice- president. Emma Sue Larkins served as treasurer, and Joan Shope was secretary. 69 ■■■■■I mm iiijfip MM ..u- Twenty-five points . . . . . . earned for atlilolic ai.ti ities add up to a letter and nicmhersliip in llu- Monogram Club. An auxiliary of tlie Athletic Associ- ation, the Monogram Club is composed of those girls who ha -e been outstand- ing in athletic achie -ement during four years at Salem. Prowess in hockey, tennis, basketball, swimming and ping- pong was responsible for the accumu- lation of those twenty-fi ' e points. Letters were presented in Chapel in December and at the A. A. banquet in May. In Fcl iruar ' , the club worked with the A. A. to present the ' alentine Dance. Those well-de -eloped muscles were just what the Warden ordered tor moN ' ing pianos, stringing crepe papci- and carrying records. in the spring, the Monogramers sponsored a basketball play day at Salem to cjima.x the basketball winter season. Teams from Cj.C, W.C, High i ' oint College and Meredith College exhibited their skill in shooting baskets. Jeanne Harrison, president of the club, led the members through the crises of chapel programs and the wrong order. We ' ll make our own, screamed Jeanne to the red M ' s, as she opened the package labeled goki S ' s. Wearing letters with Jeanne were Emily, Jane Watson, Sally Senter, Fdeanor McGregor, and Carolyn Dob- son. To the beat of the torn torn . . . danced Ann, Angela, Jo, Carolyn, and P ' rances, the five faithfuls of modern dance. Schottisching down the floor Indian style, taking wild leaps across the gym, and submitting to bone-popping deep knee bends were all a part of the rigorous routine scheduled for weekly Wednesday night meeting s. These and other exercises were designed to help members acquire grace, balance, poise, and a lingo of dance steps. Choreographing original dances pro- ' ided the creative with a chance to give a new interpretation to Little Bo Peep and Swan Lake Ballet. Alternation, switching direction, chang- ing levels — these were phrases all fu- ture Martha Grahams remembered as they planned their dances. Modern Dance ' s biggest project for the year was planning for their part in the May Day pageant. As the Queen settled on her throne and awaiteci en- tertainment, five graceful figures twirled on their toes, five comic figures leaped down the hill, and five grotesque figures stiffened arms and necks. A year ' s sore muscles and hard work were paying off. The Modern Dance Club, an auxili- ary of the A. A., is represented on the A. A. council by its president, Ann Hobbs. Miss Benson from the Academy is faculty director of the group. 71 ■Wi T As the curtain opened . ... a white-sheeted figure with straiglit black lines for eyes and a black dot for a mouth stepped out upon the stage, faced the audience and said, I am an Egyptian Mummy. The Pierrettes later discovered her name was Betsy Liles and gave her first prize for her portrayal at the Pierrette ghost party during Orientation Week. Wafting from ghosts to more ghosts, the Pierrettes presented The Inno- cents as their first major production in November. The cast consisted of four living characters and two ghosts. Lola had her first lead in this play as well as her first chance to wear long hair. Connie, Laurie, and Sara gave convincing and appealing performances and the ghosts succeeded in arousing audience reactions all the w ay from gasps to hiccoughs. The play, a psy- chological drama, received praise from local drama critics and several re- quests for more performances. In December the Pierrettes spon- sored a carnival for Salemites and dates to raise more money for their curtain fund. One of the main at- tractions of the carnival was a horror house in the catacombs, where Flossie and Bill gave customers a king size nickel ' s worth of horror with the help of ice, wet noodles, creaking chains, and a record of fiendish laughter. A bona-fide freak show featured a woman with no head, a dancing midget, the smallest bear in captivity, and the sexiest bearded lady on record. In the basement of South, Violeta told for- tunes and Patsy Crawford guessed weights. The main event of the carnival was a stage show climaxed by the crowning of the sweetheart of Salem College chosen by vote from photo- graphs entered by Salem students. The curtain fund increased as second semester began. Second semester for the Pierrettes began with three workshop plays pre- sented in January. Fumed Oak, di- rected by Lola, featured three Salem seniors making their first appearance on the stage — Marion, Beth, and Kitty. Ed Friedenburg took his free time from the Senti iel to play the male lead. The Little Theater and the Forsyth Fine Arts Theater each pre- sented a one-act play to complete the workshop bill. The workshop idea was continued when the Pierrettes sponsored a region- al Drama Festival in April. High school students presented plays at Salem which were judged and later taken to the finals at Chapel Hill. This experimental project of the Pier- rettes proved successful. The Pierrettes spent the rest of the second semester taking in new mem- bers and presenting their spring major production. This year ' s officers were Lola Daw- son, producing head; Emma Sue Larkins, technical director; Eleanor Johnson, lighting director; Faye Dea- ton, publicity head; Bryan Balfour, scene designer. . . .

The minor tragedies and mis-num- bered pages somehow worked out to portray the life of a Salem girl in 1952. Early in the fall assignments were made which, as usual, were not com- pleted until the December deadline. Typewriters clacked late into the night in the Sights and Insights office that month.

Dirty faces and grimy fingernails told the tale — eight pages of play-cast- chosen, engagement announced, dog- in-Bitting, and Civic-Music-presented had gone to press. Anne Lowe, feature editor, had writ- ten letters to dear papa, while managing editor Mac had covered the campus in search of a story. Marion had condensed ten-word headlines to column size, Beth had nursed the cuts and mats, and Patton had given up Shelley for proof-reading. Jane, editor-in-chief, had taken everybody ' s headaches and twenty- seven articles on a spike and come out with a newspaper. i : x . . .

For most of us, tlic bottom half meant information on what to bu_ ' , where to go, and how much hair to cut. For the business staff, it meant all-afternoon treks and adding foot-long columns of figures. Ann Hobbs, as ad ertising manager, practiced salesmanship on ice cream sellers and department store owners, while business manager Emily mailed bills and balanced the unbalanced. And on Fridays, Martha Fitchett assumed her beast of burden duties as circulation manager to bring the news from tlTc Sun to the Salcmites. . . .

She smiled sympathetically, yet she was a bit superior, for she knew the difference between over and under-bidding now. The cards were familiar, yet the arrangement of suits was different. . . . In September the class bell still rang at eight thirty and ceased at five, but in between there was something new. There were Wordsworth ' s Truths that wake to perish never and Keats ' Beauty that is Truth, the rollick of Burns and the music of Milton. Psychology with Pavlov ' s dog and conditioned responses awakened a curiosity in self-analysis. The Salem sophomore had developed a smattering of intellectual curiosity. Her smoke house conversations were broader and more reflective; What is truth.? Whom are you dating next weekend. ' ' What is my pur- pose in spending four years at college. ' ' Shall I sign up to make Y posters or play on the class hockey team. ' What is life.? Externally there was no change. In the fall the leaves were raked into rustling piles on Salem square. In the winter smoke houses were transformed by holly, tinsel, and crepe paper to make-believe Christmas scenes. In the spring sides of the pool were crowded with sunbathers, and the warm smell of suntan oil per- meated the area. Professors called the sophomore by her first name now. And the night watchman had a special greeting for her as she entered the catacombs to hand in Sights AND Insights copy or her Sa fiuitr feature. The thoughtful sophomore wondered what the next year would hold. . . . . . the second deal was finished. The dummy was spread and the sophomore had planned her play. The trumps were out and the losers slufTed. 73 ' — iTTTrniir The Blue Book Blues . . . . is our January theme song — one we all sing whether we can carry a tune or not. As reading day approaches, we dust off our busy signs, sort out our scrambled notes, and inquire about the effects of no-doz pills. Cramming a semester ' s work into one week is a full time job. Cushions-notes-cigarettes-cokes are grimly lugged to Cozy Corner and classrooms in Main Hall. Worried faces enter the club dining room for coffee and sugar bread.

Something new, something old. . . ... is our new science Iniiklin.L;. Its uniqne campus pattern of architecture and its modern equipment puts it in a category all its own. In the spring of nineteen hundred and fifty we stood h - and reluctanth ' watcheci the big oak tree fall to the ground to make room for the new building. It was hard to imagine a strange structure going up in the midst of back campus. But in April, the cornerstone was laid and the building had begun. When we returned to school in the fall of fifty, the building, with its steeply pitched roof, dormer windows, and ej ' ebrow arches, was beginning to take shape. The anticipation of the science majors grew, and Mr. Campbell spent most of his time surveying the progress of brick-layers and carpenters. Miss Marsh was busy receiving do- nations from the alumnae, while the community and friends provided fur- ther financial help. Fifty thousand dollars was contributed to the building fund by the Cjcneral Education Board of New York. The class of fift ' -one hoped that the building would be completed before spring so that their ivy might be planted. During the winter months, the cement mixers turned, the bricks grew higher and Mr. Campbell became more excited. By spring the night li.U hts were burning and the sound of drills echoed through the dorms. The building be- came a curiosity, with groups e xploring e -er - fioor and every corner. Some were tempted to leave a mysterious footprint on the new cement floor as an added attraction. Craduation day came, but with the building still unfinished, the i -j, ' plant- ing had to be postponed until the following fall. During the summer Mr. Curlee and Mr. Lawrence were busy day and night building the necessary cabinets. Electric stoves and modern sinks completed the cooking lab, and the new desks arrived for the class- rooms. B} ' the fall of fifty-one the science building was complete. In October the formal dedication was held, with Mr. Robert Hanes as the principal speaker. Bishop Pfohl performed the official act of dedication. Mr. Clark Starbuck served as the chairman of the decii- cation committee, and other members were Mr. Louis Owen, chairman of the building committee; Mrs. Robert Mc- Cuiston, trustee; Mr. Roy Campbell, A ' Ir. Carson F ran ch, and Miss ' irginia Hodges of the college; and President Dale H. Gramley. Mr. Campbell and Mr. { ' ' rench are in their new home, the building has been dedicated, the ivy has been planted. The science building, both old and new, is now a part of Salem. 83 — mm T Burbank, Curie, Pasteur . . . . . . the Lablings know all the answers. This year they moved into their new home which furnished a more pleasing atmosphere, more modern equipment, and shorter hikes. Each month the Lablings met to hear speakers from Winston-Salem and Bowman Gray. They even heard a former Labling when Peggy Gray was guest of honor. Atomic energy and bacteriological warfare presented inter- esting topics for discussion. Science was not the only attribute of the Lablings — Society was mingled with science when the marshmallows were brought out, the bunsen burner h ' t, and the cofTee warmed in beakers. The Lablings is an organization of home economics, science, and biology majors, and anyone else with a special interest in science. These are the girls whose afternoons are spent handling test tubes and microscopes, not cards or cokes. They plan to be medical technicians, doctors, pharmacists, die- titians, or just plain housewives. This year Theresa Hcdrick served as president, and working with her as vice-president was Marlene Hedrick. Carolyn Kneeburg was secretary, Pat Noah reporter, and A fartha Newcomb chairman of the refreshment commit- tee. Mr. Campbell and Mr. I- ' rench were the advisers. ' ' And bring us some food! ' ' . . . ... we all screamed after the Home Economics girls as they set out for the practice house. Christmas teas, open house, afternoon cooking labs could usually be relied upon as a source of delights for the palate, as Daisy led her crew in perfecting the age-old way to a man ' s heart. But food was only one of the fields of conquest for the Home Economics Club. Fashion shows gave us all an opportunity to inspect those stitched pleats and button-holes that had caused no little concern to our more domestic sisters. Gingham Tavern, complete with Bo- hemian atmosphere and floor show, was the chief money-making scheme of the club. Projects for the year in- cluded the task of playing hostess to a State Dietitian ' s Convention, teas for parents and interested groups, and just about anything that required food or costumes. Roommates contentedly acted as dress forms or ofiicial tasters, and everyone hovered on the brink of starvation until home economics shin- digs were over and left-overs were brought back to the dorm. Club programs, which provided to members information on just about everything from lip-stick application to silver-polishing, kept Daisy and Miss Hodges on the strut in search of new topics. 84 mmmmmm i«iiiniMiai iM ' ' ' Music, Music, Music 9 9 . . . raiii; Ut ul Old t ' luipi ' l fvcry Moiuia) ' , ediicstlay, aiul l ' ' riday aflcniooiis as tlic (.

Creaking boards and banging blinds were no competition for the voices of tliirty-sevcn music majors ringing fortii tlie lofty, the melancholy, and the just plum purt_ -. In the fall, three-thirty on Sunday afternoons found choral members con- certing at Mora ian churches. Students at Reynolds high school also heard a program of music from the Salem Singers. The Christmas season (yes, with its epidemic of colds) was the busiest time of year for the Ensemble. Mr. Peterson poundei.1 his chest with ap- piii al altei- the Chiistmas Conct-rl at 1 lonu- Moravian Church, town lU ' oplc applauded after the caroling on the court square, and members of tlie senior class followed appreciati el ' as choral ' s two senior members led them at senior caroling. In April, si. P.M. was not to late tor members to practice for their spring concert, and in May, six . .m. was not too early for them to arise and serenade the queen. But heart} ' applause and floods of compliments assured members that those three hour meetings for one hour credit had brought results. This year Ann Kvans was president of the Choral Ensemble and Flossie Cole was accompanist. Our circle expands . ... as we add Korea, Iran, and Russia to our usual smoke house conversation. Led by Faye Lee, the International Relations Club met once a month to study seriously international aflfairs and to promote interest in world problems among the entire student bod}-. I ' Or some meetings, speakers from town, campus, and other schools were invited to attend to give the members an insight on world doings. At other times, informal student discussions were held with Mr. Spencer giving occasional facts to prove or disprove theories for solving world problems. In the fall foreign flavor was mi.xed with football when LR.C. members were invited to help entertain visiting L ' .N. Korean war -cterans. The out- come was an increase of French vo- cabulary and a greater understanding of the attitudes of different countries toward Korea. The main project for the LR.C. this year was sponsoring Liternational Relations Day at Salem. Foreign stu- dents from other colleges in the state attended to exchange ideas with Salem students and each other. A panel discussion was held in the afternoon led by Mr. Spencer. After eating dinner together, visiting students and LR.C. members met in the Alumnae House for coffee and informal chat. Working with Faye to head the club were Ann Blackwell as ' ice-president, Eleanor Fry as secretary, and Barbara Allen as treasurer. Mr. Spencer ser ed as facultv ad -iser. 87 T ' ' Aims and objectives forever! ' ' . . . . . . chanted the members of the F.T.A. as they marched through the state requirements for a teacher ' s certificate. Led by Mary Campbell Craig, all prospective teachers belonged to the Future Teacher ' s Association, which is the college version of the National Education Association. At their sched- ules meetings the members heard teach- ing techniques from outside educators, tales of what lay ahead from first year teachers, and candid advice from prac- tice-teachers. But a great deal of related activity went on outside of the meetings. Major projects for the group included an open house for the supervisors of practice teachers, election of Miss Student Teacher, and attendance at professional meetings. The financing of these projects was managed by appeal to Salem appetites. Hence the Tuesday night hot dog sales. For this occasion Beth Coursey and Martha Fitchett displayed their arts de gourmet, em- ploying all their skills fishing frank- furters from the boiling pot and adorn- ing same with mustard, slaw, and onions. ith the senior year came the test of learning — practice teaching. After two years of careful screening and numerous education courses, the future teachers had a chance to utilize their training in Children ' s Literature, Phys- ical Education Methods, and Edu- cation Methods. This year marked the beginning of a new system, that of teaching only three weeks in both city and county schools two hours a day. Also for the first time juniors were given a chance to preview their year to come, by observing the practice teachers. But marks of the old system remained: those heart-sinking moments when Dr. Welch, Mrs. Hart, and departmental heads dropped in to view the progress of the class. F.T.A. had its humorous side, how- ever. Just ask anyone who went to the conventions in Asheville. As for the Orientation parties and the recitation of Ferdinand the Bull, frivolity prevailed. Tablemates of practice teachers got a blow-by-blow description of everything that happened from second grade love notes to play ground duty. And for a touch of the tender, there was the day when Kitty Burrus and Barbara Fisher brought their stu- dents to chapel. 88 . . .

The game was fainihar and she bid willi ennlidenee. Tliis fall the junior smiled as she passed C ' lewell and carried her battered ba,i, ' s to Sisters or Strong. She plopped teddy bears and rag dolls on her bed, tacked college pennants on the walls and unpacked cashmere sweaters while she told her roommate tales of summer school at the uniA ' ersity, of argyles and fraternity pins. Overnights were stretched to cover Homecomings, Midwinters, and Spring Germans. Her hat was big, and she laughed — She laughed at six weeks tests, term papers, and multitudinous club meetings, criticjucs, play rehearsals, deadlines — Sometimes her laughter was hysterical as activity mounted upon activity, and she could not see the end. But she laughed and somehow comp papers were finished, parallel was read, and May Day costumes were designed. But underneath it all was the feeling that she could have done better. With a jolt the junior realized that she was out of her teens, almost an adult. She sensed that her hat was growing smaller. Soon she would replace it with a senior cap. Next year I.R.S. the Salnuitr, A. A. —it would all be hers. And she waited. . . . She waited with pride and anticipation for the next deal. She had played the game well. The rubber was almost ended. 95 iiuan At seven-thirty in the morning . T . . . May Day officially began on Salem campus. Following a well-es- tablished tradition, choristers gathered beneath the window of the queen to bid her awake to the day which was hers. After breakfast a very special morn- ing watch was held in front of the President ' s home, characterized by pansies for each girl, the early-morning sounds from the adjoining May Dell, and the May Day Carol. Following this event. May Day lost all semblance of peace and serenity. Although there were classes to be at- tended, it must be acknowledged that little was absorbed. Girls anxiously awaited the telephone calls assuring them that they would have dates for the pageant and dance. Parents began to trek to third f cor Clewell, carrying the long-agonized-over evening dresses to be worn at the dance. The cry of Who ' s got an extra rain check for the pageant? rang on every hall as anxious eyes peered out windows to measure the threat of rain clouds. The I.R.S. sent out a desperate plea for every-one to Please come down and help decorate the gym!, and the dance groups had a final practice to reassure themselves that there was no danger of faux pas. Lunch was eaten autcmatically and with little interest as major characters got last minute cases of the jitters, classmates of the Court gave advice on facial care and students sang to returning Alumnae. Hours in advance, the cast began to climb into costume, and the dorms were transformed into residences for comic animals, medieval courtiers, pas- toral lovers and inevitable peasants. The scene shifted to the gym where the LR.S. girls were taking down ladders, giving the basketball hoops a final camouflage touch, and beginning to sweep the floor. Downstairs, mem- bers of the costume committee were beginning to take bigger stitches and rely more heavily on straight pins for the last minute alterations of costumes. The front ends of the animals were voicing final fears of early death by suffocation; a few doting mothers were encouraged to take their seats before the crowd arrived, and five o ' clock drew nearer. At last the May Day Chairman took her seat, gave a weak smile to the peasants scattered on the hill, and the pageant began. At once the May Dell stream became the boundary line be- tween a pageant of fantasy performed by the players and a pageant of re- ality performed by the spectators. The play progressed, the Court entered, and the Queen was presented and crowned. The players gave their final formance for the Queen, and pageant was finished.

The overwhelming task of planning the pageant was begun early in the fall. October was the month of elections for the Queen, Maid of Honor, and the Court. After the beauties were selected, dresses and flowers were chos- en. Then committees were appointed and put to work. Everyone connected with May Day (which eventually amounted to everyone enrolled in Sa- lem College) began to devote countless hours to properties, construction, music selection, costume designing, publicity, and contracting for sound systems. Even the less imaginative, business, and aesthetic matter of preening the May Dell for the big day was ac- complished. Inspiration for a pageant theme came to Betty at the rather non-in- spiring hour of six-thirty a.m. one very cold morning in early September. Too cold to get up for more cover, she could do nothing but suffer in silence, and was rewarded with a plot idea. But any actual script writing was post- poned until Christmas, and all effort placed on electing a Queen, Maid of Honor, and Court of twelve. In keeping with the tradition es- tablished twenty-five years ago, the pageant must provide an obvious entry for the Queen and Court. Files are preserved of former May Day scripts, and it is evident that this problem is not a new one. In the past every con- ceivable form of motivation has been employed, but the audience is under- standing and satisfied. With Miss Reigner as adviser, the committee launched into the task at hand after Christmas, Sally Senter acting as vice-chairman and costume designer, Daisy Chonis as treasurer and squelcher of expensive ideas, and Anne Hobbs as chief choreographer. Carolyn Harris, Edna Wilkerson, and Peggy Bonner composed the committee for selection of the Court dresses and flowers, and Jane Watson continued her editorial role as chairman of the program committee. Fae Deaton per- formed the mansized job of publicity chairman, giving us the assurance that we would have an audience for our pageant. Emily Warden employed all of her agressive powers in getting special rates for everything. ' olunteers, and where necessary, draftees, supplied the cast, ranging from choral groups, dancers, speaking parts, and comic animals. Criticism was supplied by various faculty mem- bers and students. Ideas, alterations and down-right departures from the script were supplied by all to produce the resulting May Day. ...

I ' hey were a little scared too, when they thoutjht of the responsibilit}- of their job. On June second the marshals dressed in white and gold for the last time. Jane was nervous as she gave Mrs. Rondthaler ' s instructions a last minute reading. Promptly at five minutes to eleven line up on each side of the steps leading to Memorial Hall.

Willie Rhyne, Eleanor McGregor, Faye Lee, Jo Bell, Sarah Long, Anne Lowe. . . hurried outside to lead the Seniors for the last time. They smiled as the Seniors approached but were sad when they realized this was their last day as marshals. Next y ' ear they would themseKes be led down the aisle b ' tlieir class marshals. Jane Schoolfield was chief marshal, and Eleanor McGregor, Anne Lowe, Faye Lee, Sarah Long, Jo Bell, and Willie Rhyne were the marshals. Alma Mater Strong are thy walls, oh Salem, Thy virgin trees stand tall. And far athwart the sunlit hills Their stateh ' shadows fall. Firm is thy faith, oh Salem, Th} ' future service sure. The beauty of th}- heritage Forever shall endure. True is our love, oh Salem Thy name we proudly own. The joy of comradeship is here, Th spirit makes us one. Chorus: Then sing we of Salem ever. As proudly her name we bear. Long may our praise re-echo. Far may our song ring clear. 108 ..•..• •_• ZJtf 0 L m. ■ Sasiii mmm Seniors . . . BE I ' ARkS . . . . . .

Standing at tiie portals were new seniors, but witii the old feeling of excitement, anticipation, and just a little bit of superiority, ' [ he under- classmen had made another step for- ward, too — and the ' wondered what the year would hold. ewl - painted buildings had greeted the students when they arrived, and quick glances revealed other new fea- tures — new offices for Dr. Welch, Miss Rcigner, and Mr. Sawyer, a basement smoke house for the girls in Sisters, an added spot light in front of Bitting, and a peanut machine in Clewell. Second glances revealed familiar sights, too: Miss Anna ' s flower beds, girls squealing greetings to each other, and the fountains still not running. In the fall, new students attended freshman seminar, and the practice teachers groped their unaccustomed way to the dining hall at seven twenty- five. There was the excitement and hard decisions of May Day elections, and the spooky suspense of the Pier- rettes ' fall production, The Inno- cents. At the pep rally the seniors walked away with first prize, while the sophomores claimed the hockey title. With a new art major offered, the campus was dotted with girls behind sketch pads, and the religion minors worked hard with Mr. Sawyer, Salem ' s first full-time chaplain. Biology and chemistry students went to labs and classes in the new science building. With the coming of the Christmas season, each student felt a little closer to Salem, (jirls rushed in and out of the book store basement loaded with tensil and silver paper, and the dorms worked excitedly to decorate their smoke rooms. Quantities of sugar cake and cofl ee were consumed at the putz in Brothers House, and bees-wax can- dles burned bright at Senior ' espers as three hundred voices sang Morning Star. The Christmas formal and the party for the orphans were crammed into a busy schedule. Holidays were over in a rush, and the campus settled down to the serious business of exams. Then, Honor ' s Day, alcntinc ' s, St. Patrick ' s Day cakes in the dining hall — and before we knew it, it was spring, with winter coats being replaced by Salem jackets. The juniors were proudly wearing their class rings, and the freshmen had a new feeling of really belonging. Junior- Senior was a big success; and Flossie, Kitty, and Ann shone at their senior recitals. The campus cleared for spring holidays, but some came back for the sunrise ser ' ice in God ' s Acre. For many, the May Day dance was the most important event in the spring; for others it was getting a sun tan; and for a few it was graduation — the end of the year and the end of college. It had been the same, yet different — old and new. Old friends, strange faces; accustomed traditions, new regu- lations; fresh paint and aged ivy; blended by each girl in her way to make — nineteen hundred and fifty- two. 11.=. T I The cards were passed to the senior, and she shuffled them slowly — one — two — the ruffling noise broke the stillness of the room — three. There was a soft slap as the deck was cut, and she began to deal. She watched the other three players arrange their hands. The freshman ' s hands moved jerkily; her eyes were wide. The sophomore was more sure, and a slight frown crinkled her forehead as she considered carefully. The junior was quick. She squirmed in her chair, eager to begin. The world was hers. The senior looked back on three years and wondered how she would play this last hand. . . . In September she felt strange in Bitting and self-conscious in her cap and gown at opening chapel. She had a car on campus. There were Sunday afternoon drives along Reynolda Road when the leaves were colored warm yellows and reds. Christ- mas vespers, dorm decorations, the putz in Brothers House were familiar, yet different, for she knew that this was the last time. Second semester was a curious mixture of gaiety and sadness — the thrill of registering for onh thirteen hours, watching Miss Anna working in the pansy bed, hearing the church clock strike the quarter hour, the musty smell of the catacombs, Awake, awake, my pretty, pretty maid ..., ' the green leather chair in Dr. Gramley ' s office, senior compre- hen sives . . . the new and the old, gaiety and sadness, eagerness and reluctance. The senior had gi -en of herself and taken from Salem, and now. . . . Now the four-year game was ended. The senior had played her last card on the table. Had she won or lost? She did not add the score, but her head was high as she left the room. 116 Jt: rom. MONTALDO ' S 1 Enchanting gown of while net worn by Monie Rowland, Class of 1952 ■■i BEST WISHES FROM P. H.
